JAMB: We’re not recruiting in Ondo

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has debunked a report that it is recruiting at its office in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

JAMB, in its bulletin signed by the board spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, on Monday, June 5, noted that the fake recruitment company, operates on the platform of “Akure Job and Business Advert Forum”.

He added that the fake company claimed to have an office in the Alagbaka area of Akure, saying the company used a dedicated social media account to defraud job applicants.

The JAMB spokesperson stated: “The attention of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has been drawn to the unwholesome activities of an employment syndicate operating in Akure, Ondo State, which claims to have been contracted to recruit staff for the Board using a dedicated social media account.

“The syndicate, syndicate, operating under ‘Akure Job and Business Advert Forum’, located at Quarters 92 Alagbaka Estate, Near CBN Office, IBB Avenue, Akure, Ondo State, is using the name of JAMB, Ondo State Office, to advertise job vacancies into secretarial and clerical positions in the Board.

“The Board, is by this disclaimer, advising all members of the public to disregard such information as it is currently not recruiting in any of its offices nor has it contracted anyone or organisation to do so on its behalf.

“Anybody doing business with the above-mentioned platform or similar ones, does so at his/her own risk.

“Furthermore, stiff legal actions will be taken against anyone found culpable of such nefarious acts.

“Members of the public are, therefore, advised to be wary of the shenanigans of mischief makers out to defraud halpess job seekers as all notifications by the Board are made only through its approved channels,” Benjamin said.
